We sure hope you had an amazing weekend with the King Puff Invitational last Saturday live on Twitch. What a show! An intense group stage, exclusive live reveals, and the thrilling final stage. Thanks to the King Puff Cup staff for an amazing tournament and stream!
Today, however, we have something else exciting for you, Masters.
PTR anyone?
From now on you can enter the PTR (Public Test Realm) and have a look at the Visual Rework and related gameplay changes for yourself. We aim to introduce all changes on Wednesday, February 28th but don't want you to be totally unprepared. So, here's what's you need to do in order to enter the PTR:
- Right-click Minion Masters in your Steam Library
- Click Properties
- Select the tab Betas
- Copy "publictestftw" and paste it into the empty text field (without "")
- Click Check Code
- Select public_test - PTR 1 from the Dropdown menu
- Click Close
You may have to restart Steam in order to get access. A download should be starting and once it's finished, you'll be able to enter the PTR. On the test server, you'll have access to all cards and skins. Resources you spend or earn will not change anything on your live account.
Once you start the game and connected to the PTR, you'll be able to test the game version 0.60.3 as shown live on stream during the King Puff Invitational with the exception of Incubus. This Minion is not planned for Wednesday and thus not part of the public PTR, today.
Visuals have changed, assets in the arenas are bigger now (that's why the arenas feel smaller), gameplay is more fast-paced now and units like Prowler, Battle Shi-Hou, Scrat Tank, Morgrul, Brutus & Terror Brutus and the Healing Shrine received balance changes. You'll find more details on that in the feedback threads.
Wait! Feedback threads? Yes, we opened feedback threads on the Steam forums and Reddit in order to receive your feedback in a structured way. As always, feedback and suggestions should be given calm, constructive and rational.

With that being said: happy testing, Masters and if you missed the live reveal on Saturday, here's your VOD!
